Quarter of million euro supercar to make Irish debut in Killarney
A BMW supercar – that costs a staggering €233,605 – will make its Irish debut in Killarney in two weeks’ time.
The new BMW M8 Competition Coupé has just be launched by the German country.
It will arrive in Ireland later this month and will go on public display for the first during the Rally of Lakes from April 29 to May 1.
Ahern’s BMW in Castleisland is one of the title sponsors of this year’s rally. The family run firm will display the full range of BMW cars during the event including the new BMW M8 Competition Coupé.
BMW’s Motorsport brand ‘M’ is celebrating 50 years this year.
Paul Ahern is a life-long rally supporter. More recently he sponsored Craig Breen and Paul Nagle’s victory in last year’s Killarney Historic Rally driving a BMW M3.
“We are delighted to have the BMW M8 Competition 625bhp at the Rally of the Lakes weekend to celebrate 50 years of M,” Paul Ahern said, “The legendary M3 rally car has enjoyed much success over the years in Killarney with Bertie Fisher and more recently Craig Breen and Paul Nagle taking victory here with M Power so we look forward to the next 50 years of M.”
